The Complete Peanuts #3

A young Lucy Van Pelt takes center stage on this charming cover, her hands clasped to her face in wide-eyed alarm as she cries, "Good grief! What have I done?!" — a moment of delightful, relatable panic drawn straight from the 1955–1956 strips by Charles M. Schulz. The triptych layout captures Lucy singing "Rain, Rain, Go Away" before the consequences of her wish apparently set in, perfectly distilling Schulz's genius for finding comedy and genuine emotion in a child's small disasters. This third volume from Fantagraphics' celebrated Complete Peanuts series is a wonderful way to experience two full years of one of the most beloved comic strips ever created.
